Final prep


Well, it's T-3 days now, and it's getting down to the wire. We've got over 23 boxes to package and ship. Planning food, toiletries, clothing, shoes, and everything else you can possibly think of for 5 months is a pretty immense undertaking.

We just finished with all the packages yesterday, and keep finding other things we've forgotten. Like lighters. And we've made so many trips to costco and REI that employees there are starting to recognize us.

All in all, pretty exciting. This weekend I'm headed out to my folks place to build a kennel for the dog, since they'll be keeping him while we're away. Monday is the day we're supposed to start on the trail, but it could be Tuesday.

  1. I'm disappointed you two are taking such a small telescope. I hear most people end up taking at least a 10" scope on the PCT with them.
